You can really see the repaired tissue here, the nub tentacles are already emerging from the oral disk that was frayed 48 hours earlier:
And here:
Some of the damage to the interior:
This really gives you a feel for how much tissue is gone, remember the anemone used to be round.....it is not for the time being.
Will keep updates coming. (fingers crossed):twitch:[/QUOTE]
Hey, everyone!
Thought I would post as I am closing in on the 10 year mark of this thread and thought I would update it:eek2:
Here is the carpet that got blendered all those years ago - still kicking.
Can you see both the clowns in this one? Look hard.
Of the carpets I have had in this thread, the blue succumbed to a bacterial infection:thumbdown, the multicolor I still have downstairs in the QT system, and the green one I didn't sell to Minh (how's that one still doing?) I just posted a picture of. I don't recall when exactly I got the original green one, but it was some months before I tried to transplant the zoo to the blue carpet - which has got to make the green carpet a decade old! The resident clowns lay eggs every couple weeks (always on a Sunday afternoon, dunno why that is but it is) and I don't ever raise the fry. But it's been attached to the same crusty rock now for ages. It's the dirtiest rock in the tank (mostly because the clowns don't let anything come close enough to clean it :spin2:
The multicolor carpet in this thread I got some time later after the green gig, and over the years it has come down with a bacterial infection a couple times. But never the green one. It seems like something goes on with the municipal water supply every so often that the RO/DI doesn't clean up - or the dirtier QT tank periodically goes through something I don't understand. In these instances, I cannot say enough about Ciprofloxacin. It definitely wasn't around when I started trying out carpets. Wish it had been.
I definitely run my tanks "dirtier" and think that carpets tolerate these conditions just fine. Temp is usually 78-79. These days I change 10% every two weeks, but over the years there has definitely been months where water didn't get changed. And definitely luck plays a factor - I've not had any heaters melt down or pumps corrode out and poison the tank the green carpet is in. This has definitely happened to other tanks I have run, however.
No way would I still have these carpets and fish without all the knowledge and support of all the good people on this site. Just wanted to share. I will probably just keep posting here as we go along.
Thanks for reading!

When using imgur you can specify the size of the image you want displayed by adding l for large, h for huge right before the .file type in the link. So example below
Large:
